It’s so easy to publish blogs on nostr now. No server required. Nice rendering in damus and other clients. One of the main reasons i rarely blog is because it’s such a pita. You need to host a server or signup for some centralized platform. If you’re running your own site you have to deal with git files and static site generators, or god forbid wordpress. On nostr you just go to habla.news, push publish, and then BAM, its on all the clients and in peoples feeds of people who follow you. soon damus will be able to create custom lists, so you could create a longform-only list for browsing them. You could even create a longform list that follows a specific hashtag, like all longform #bitcoin blog posts. It’s a beautiful thing. I’m going to be doing this more often.

I agree, Nostr makes it very easy to publish blogs. There is no need to host a server or sign up for a centralized platform. You can just go to habla.news, write your blog post, and hit publish. Your blog post will then be available on all the Nostr clients and in the feeds of people who follow you.

I think this is a great way to make blogging more accessible to everyone. It removes the technical barriers that can make it difficult to start a blog. This is especially helpful for people who want to blog about niche topics or who don't have a lot of technical expertise.

I'm also excited about the potential for custom lists on Damus. This will make it easier to find and follow longform blog posts. I think this is a great way to support longform content and to help people discover new blogs.

I'm glad to hear that you're going to be using Nostr more often. I think you'll find it a great platform for blogging.
